if your faucet is new....the spout was put together wrong and it needs to be removed and re-attached correctly...(friction washer/ring in wrong position).....if not new....spray some penetrating oil on the connection that is supposed to swivel....make sure the surface is dry and try to avoid overspray. let it sit for 15 min...then spray it again...and again let it sit ....after sitting for a few minutes.....gently try to move the spout side to side...if no change...repeat the first processs...and continue to repeat until it becomes moveable....once moveable....detach the spout.....dry out and remove any foreign matter from the connection side on the faucet...then apply a small amount of faucet grease to the connection threads and the inside barrel....a thin even coat ...excess grease will clog your aerator...don't use too much....now repeat the cleaning and lubricating process on the removed spout connector....reassemble.....remove aerator....turn on the water and flush....replace the aerator....turn water on full blast....check for leaks and for swing...it should swivel now ....if not...loosen the connection nut a tad and try again....if still no swing....you are missing a friction ring somewhere in the connection and it needs to be replaced before you will be able to swing the spout.....good luck...

for some reason the cartridge set up does a sporadic drip which is infuriating but replacing the insert will not fix it after the cartridge there is just an empty hose to the shower head and no pressure

If you are installing a wax (doughnut) seal to connect the toilet to the main drain, then the wax ring should be big. It should 'squish' to seal correctly. You may not need it, but I've known plumbers to install two of the seals at once for extra gap-filling. Just install the seal, sit on the toilet to compress the seal into place and then install the bolts to the floor. Done!

take the old one to the store with you they can match it up.. (home depot... lowes)...

Replace it. Remove the two screws. With the lever in the up position, pull the assembly up and out. You may have to jiggle it to remove it. Remove the cotter pin to disengage the faceplate from the linkage. The faceplate is a standard part that can be gotten from any plbg supply or Home Depot. While you have the drain assy out, you may want to grease the plunger with silicone grease or faucet grease. This will make the drain easier to operate.

dry rubber "O" ring/ threads on the shaft call a plumber to pull it apart , replace the seal and lubricate it

most aerators are screwed into the faucet IF you use a pair of multigrips with clothe folded in the jaws , you can apply gentle pressure and turn it out too much pressure and you will distort the aerator so be gentle with it

water is supposed to come out of your faucet...in a controlled fashion....if its at the handle....remove the handle and locate the source....tighten the packing gland or replace a seal. if it sprays all crazy at the spout...try unscrewing the little piece on the tip of the spout (aerator)....flush your faucet by running the water with it off...then flush out the screen on the aerator and re-attach it...hope I was some help....good luck and always know where and how to turn your house water supply off before working on any pressure points on your water supply system.

if it is a single handle or mixer tap look under the handle and there will be a plastic plug ( probably red/blue ) pull that plug out and there will be a hex screw that will unscrew and allow the handle to come off

are you speaking of water hammer ? as typically this occurs when shutting off water , faucets that make noise like a whistle when on could be a part clogged aerator in the end of it , this happens over time and debris is aloud to collect in end of faucet

Go to manufacturer web site for manual download.

there may be garbage in the strainer. unscrew the strainer where the water comes out and check the screen inside there. it could have a partial blockage

It sounds like the diverter is not fully opening to allow the water to run to the spout. If the diverter is in the wall, perhaps there is a seal in there that needs replacing. If it is in the spout, just replace the spout,
